proprietor of Sulphur Springs Hotel, at
Lang Station. About one hundred
people were present. 1t was one of the
most complete surprise parties ever got
up, Mr.. Lang not dreaming OF 1t until a
long string of vehicles came in sight anu
the music arrived. Los Angeles and
every place west for 100 miles was repre-.
sented. MIR. Lang said it was the crown
ing pride of his life, and the immense
crowd were much elated ut the success OF
their efforts. Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. Lang
led the grand march into the spacious
hall pnd formed at the head for the first
grand waltz. The elegant Sulphur
Spring Band were on hand and in few
moments the music began, and then oc.
Cured another surprise still greater.
